I’m not making a moral argument for the surveillance state, I wear Curve25519 on one arm and the word “citizenfour” on the other.

I agree that there is a vast and almost impossible to regulate overreach by these companies. Your argument is extremely compelling.

But when HN users complain about being spied on I smell a FAANG rejection letter.

So your comments should be at the top. You’re knowledgeable on the subject and even if we disagree that should be upweighted in a perfect world.

People care about others, not just themselves.

Unless the topic is affordable housing, that is.

I agree, but search “HN levels.fyi” to understand that we’re in the minority on that.

If you think their argument is compelling, why are you insulting them?

(This is a genuine question. Many of your comments have added to the discussion and I've upvoted them. But I've also downvoted many that haven't.)
